Singing Ice Cubes

Overall rating (15 ratings)

Sound effects > Natural elements and explosions

Ice-cubes in a glass with freshly poured water on them thawing and releasing bubbles and pressure. The intention was for the ice to crack, but presumably the cold and moisture filled weather aided in an entirely different, serendipitous sound being produced. Popping, chirping, pressure/release, abstract sounds.

Technical Specifications: Recorded with a Zoom H6 recorder using the attached stereo XY microphones. The sound was post-processed to make it more crisp and impactful (basic EQ, dB adjustment and trimming on Reaper DAW). Recorded indoors in a semi-soundproofed room on a rainy and overcast afternoon in Pretoria, South Africa.

Thank you for the use of your awesome sound, Ice Cubes. I used it for a stop motion animation I created and posted on my YouTube channel, Susan Rostow. If you would like to see it, the direct link to the video entitled, GENUS OF BEETLES is https://youtu.be/-yHV3WEnF5o. Please let me know it was credited properly.

Beautiful sound, well recorded. I would have been nice if the levels were a bit higher, but it's 24bit, so I can do it myself. :)
